Overview & Photos
Welcome to The Caribbean SandCastle, a luxurious and avant-garde villa suspended on columns above a spectacular beach. An impressive feat of engineering and architecture, The Caribbean SandCastle brings you closer to the sand and water than any home on the Caribbean. This beautiful pink-sand beach is lapped by shallow water that is usually as calm as a lake. Caribbean SandCastle faces west so you can enjoy the most wonderful sunsets over the sea every evening from your decks and windows.
Caribbean SandCastle, formerly Cool Cloud House, is now under new ownership. The owner added a NEW BEACHFRONT POOL AND HOT TUB!
The Caribbean SandCastle is located on Alabaster Beach, one of the most stunning and pristine beaches in the Caribbean, featured on the cover of Conde Nast Traveler's December 2012 issue.
Remodeled in 2021 and decorated with custom contemporary furnishings, The Caribbean SandCastle has a spacious interior plus extensive wrap-around decks and outside space. The Caribbean SandCastle’s great room, suspended over the beach, is divided into three spaces. The Entertainment area has a flat-screen TV, DVD, and hi-fi sound system. The kitchen, dining area, and breakfast nook offer contemporary cooking and dining with extensive beach and ocean views. The ultra-modern kitchen features all stainless-steel appliances including French-door refrigerator, glass top range, wall oven, dishwasher, and microwave. The third space, the Chill Out area, hovers over the sea, giving a view and proximity to the water found in few houses anywhere in the world. Both the Chill Out Room and the Entertainment area have sofa beds (a total of 2 sofa beds in all).
The Caribbean SandCastle has four bedrooms, each with a luxurious bath (either en suite or across the hall) and an ocean-view deck. Two of the baths have showers; the other two have shower/tub combinations. Watch the sunset from your bedroom window, or step onto your deck for a morning coffee, feed the birds or fish, and listen to the Caribbean lapping on the sand. One bedroom has a king bed, two have queen beds, and one has twin beds that can be converted to a king. Each room has its own AC air handler and can set its own temperature.
Outside on the beach, beneath the elevated platform of the house, The Caribbean SandCastle has a large shaded dining area where you can grill your catch of the day and dine on the water’s edge. An outdoor shower is also located nearby at the back of the house for easy access to rinse off.
Amenities at The Caribbean SandCastle include full AC, WIFI, Apple TV, advanced water purification system, and laundry room with a washer and dryer. Two paddleboards and two kayaks are provided, including a large three-person kayak well equipped for fishing or taking a longer journey.
The town of Governors Harbour, a ten-minute drive from the property, has a charming collection of 19th century homes and churches overlooking its historic harbor. Buy fresh fish and lobster every afternoon from fisherman at the town dock, or visit the recently restored Haynes Library, which dates from 1897, for the weekly coffee hour for foreign residents and tourists. Governors Harbour has grocery stores, restaurants, liquor stores, two banks with ATMs, a bakery, gift shops, a dive shop, and a medical clinic. Friday Night Fish Fry in Governors Harbour, a street/beach party that brings together all the tourists and locals with food, drink, and dancing in the street, is not to be missed.
Eleuthera is famous for its 100 miles of spectacular, deserted beaches. The island, home to just 8000 residents, where everyone knows everyone, is known for being very safe. The snorkeling, diving, and fishing on the island are world class. Boating, surfing, and other water sports are also popular. You can rent power boats, sailboats, sea kayaks, bikes.
Rates are for up to 8 guests, additional guests are $65 per night.

Great home, with a few minor issues

Paul Vlaskamp recommends this vacation rental.
The house was very clean and comfortable and had everything we needed for my family of five. A couple of issues, the communication from the Concierge they assign to the home was not good and she should be replaced. The reservation portion had great communication. The grill was so dirty and so much grease in it we did not want to use it because it looked like it would cause a grease fire. The Hot tub is cracked and leaking and has to be filled every day. The Hot tub blower does not work. They sent someone over but he had no idea how to fix it, he said he just cleans the pool. We wiggled the wires and it did turn on but never worked again the rest of the trip. The wires are exposed and the protective cover is missing on the blower. This is in an area a kids can reach it from the pool deck. The switch on the outlet is loose and does not appear to be on a GFCI circuit. Several of the glass tiles on the pool and hot tub are missing and falling off, a whole sheet in one place is coming off, leaving glass edges exposed where kids could cut themselves. Some deck boards are loose and will need attention soon. I have an ocean front rental home in Florida and I know these homes take a lot of maintenance but these are issues that really need to be taken care of by the owner and this would be a five star home. Condition issues all related to items I listed. I took pictures to post but unfortunately this review does not allow pictures.
HOMEOWNER’S RESPONSE: We fixed the leak in the hot tub and replaced all missing tiles this weekend, and we have a new pool maintenance guy and new pool cleaning crew. A new blower for the hot tub was ordered as soon as it failed and will be on the island soon. A new grill has been ordered and will arrive in 3 to 5 weeks. The existing grill was cleaned fully and is working.

This home was even better than advertised! The home is spacious and well appointed. Beds were very comfortable, kitchen was well-stocked. Three generations of our family shared a week of relaxation and joy. We played games, swam in the pool and Caribbean sea daily.The beach was easy to access and the ocean was clean and clear, We took out the paddle board every day and used the kayaks as well. The pool was refreshing and the hot tub was heated upon my arrival, as requested. A wonderful time was had by all!

The house was exactly as pictured. The beach "STUNNING". We were a little disappointed with the pool and hot tub. We paid extra to have them heated but it looked as though no one had been taking care of either on a regular basis. The pool was so low we had to put the hose in it. The jets were above the water line, also the hot tub was basically empty. We still used it and it didn't put a damper on our trip. I would still recommend Caribbean Sandcastle to my friends. Thank you to the people of Eleuthera for

Central location on the island is great for exploring both the north and south. And there is a ton to see and do in Eleuthera. The house has everything you need and the sunsets are amazing. Pool and hot tub are great. Property management addressed our minor issues promptly. Highly recommended.

We stayed for two weeks and loved every minute. The location is to die for. The beach is literally steps from the house. Shells galore, bountiful tide pools and calm seas. Beautiful sunsets. Every amenity you can think of. Kitchen has everything you could want. Open concept layout and two living areas. Each bedroom has it's own bathroom. Locaton is good and being right on Queen's Highway means you don't spend a lot of time making your way out of the neighborhoods getting there. Some road noise but

The property was everything we were looking for. Very private beach, I think we saw maybe 7 or 8 people walking on the beach the entire week. The house was very nice and well taken care of. Property is as advertised. I would definitely return to this property for another vacation. Our toddler loved having the beach and ocean right out the backdoor. Sonya, the property manager was wonderful as well. She was there to help us whenever we needed anything before or during the trip.

We love Caribbean Sandcastle! It's not our first time staying in this beautiful pristine home. We love the privacy this home offers, and the secluded beach is heaven on earth! The kitchen is well stocked with whatever you'll need to prepare everything from the basics to gourmet meals. The water pressure in the showers is comparable to the same pressure as back home. The bedding is so soft and comfy, and with the layout of the house , noise isn't a problem for those wanting to nap or have quiet time! I'm rea

This being our second time in Eleuthera we knew exactly what we wanted and Caribbean sandcastle provided just that. With three kids under the age of 9 we sought a home with useable beach and calm, shallow ocean waters. And we got. Exactly that.

The house was beautiful BUT the beach & water was out of this world. It The water was perfect & calm, and the pool was the perfect size. We hardly left the house except once for a boating excursion. We recommend having groceries delivered before arriving for convenience.

There were no surprises, the home is exactly as it's portrayed on the website/ social media. The kitchen is wonderfully stocked. The beds are comfy. The beach is the most peaceful place on earth!

ANGELICA CASTILLO recommends this vacation rental.
We stayed at the Caribbean Sand Castle for some much needed rest and relaxation. It completely exceeded our expectations. The house is absolutely beautiful and is exactly as pictured. It is very spacious and there are numerous locations both inside and out to relax, enjoy a good book, or simply sit and enjoy the view. We also thoroughly enjoyed the available kayak and paddle boards as the water is unbelievably beautiful, calm, and refreshing. We will absolutely be back and I would highly recommend the house to anyone needing some peace and tranquility or anyone who likes to stay busy on the water. The pool was a wonderful treat as well! There is something to do for everyone. I also enjoyed chatting with the locals at the nearby shops as they were so warm and welcoming. Can't wait to get back!

This house is exactly as the pictures show it to be! The house is perfectly located between James Cistern and Governors Harbour and only about a 50 minute drive from N. Eleuthera airport. The beach and water are to die for and we were basically the only ones on it the whole week we were there. Would definitely stay in the house again in one of our return trips!

The location is really nice with few homes in beautiful sandy beaches this house is perfect.
The house manager was Sonya was very quick to respond even when I locked myself out of the safe! “Yikes”.
The new pool and hot tub are a nice feature as well.

Our families had an incredible stay at the Caribbean Sandcastle. We loved the remote location of this private beach, overlooking the crystal clear waters of the Caribbean. The kids loved the new swimming pool, only steps from the living room. Highlights of our trip included postcard sunsets, fishing for grouper right off of the beach, and beating an x-NFL linebacker in a foot race on the beach. Can't wait to return to this incredible place!

Wow! Great family vacation in this beautiful home on a white sand beach on this laid-back island. The home speaks for itself. Everything you could ask for and more. The kitchen is well stocked with ample cookware and utensils. The kayaks and paddleboards were a plus. It's close to town and the airport yet secluded. The owner and staff on the island have been fantastic. Looking forward to our next visit. Until then we will share our adventure with our friends and hopefully they can visit this diamond on the sand.

Hannah LoCascio recommends this vacation rental.
We had a great stay at Brandons house. The house was immaculate with lots of thoughtful details like yeti travel mugs, brand new umbrellas and beach chairs, usb charging station, etc. By far the best part though is the beach! Beautiful calm water perfect for our group of 5 kids to play in. The only part of the house that wasn't exactly what we had hoped for was the location right on the main road. This made it loud at night if you left the windows open on that side of the house but as soon as we switched to sleeping with the AC it wasn't a problem. The pool wasn't finished yet but we are already planning a return trip to check it out! Brandon and his entire crew were super responsive and helpful throughout our stay. Highly recommend!

The house was clean and inviting when we arrived. The privacy of the bedrooms and bathrooms was wonderful. The kayaks and snorkling equipment made water activities fun and easy. The immediate access to the beach is unbelievable. The assistance if the property manager, Sonya, was tremendous. What a simply stunning place to vacation.
